ABOUT BLANK STREET
Blank Street is on a mission to become the defining food & beverage brand of our
generation. At 100+ locations, we’ve built one of the fastest-growing consumer
brands in the US and UK, and are quickly becoming the go-to spot for the next
generation of coffee and matcha drinkers. With a large global roadmap ahead,
we’re shaping the future through elevated beverages, thoughtful store designs,
and hospitality-driven experiences.
ADD A SPARK TO THE ORDINARY
At Blank Street, we’re building thoughtful, beautifully designed experiences,
both in-store and digitally. We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join
our Product Design team to help drive exciting initiatives. As a Senior Product
Designer, you will own the design of our consumer app and internal tools,
combining user research, a strategic mindset, and design skills across both UX
and Visual to deliver stellar customer experiences. You are not only a craft
expert across UX and visual design, but also a strategic partner who helps shape
what we build and why.
You bring a strong point of view grounded in research and data, and you are
comfortable navigating ambiguity to define product direction. You translate
insights into actionable design strategies, aligning user needs with business
goals. You advocate for the customer at every stage, ensuring that design
decisions are intentional, scalable, and impactful. This role is fully in-person
and based out of our Brooklyn, NY office.
